[[Sea Scouts]] are their own organization again and are no longer part of [[Venturing]] (now Sea Scouts Ships cannot choose their own uniforms, as Venturing Crews can, and there is no longer a possible dual leadership structure of Crew/Ship). The [[Cub Scout Leader Portal|Cub Scout electives]] are mostly done. [[Lion Scout]]s are new. Several awards have changed, notably the [[Outdoor Ethics]] awards. The [[Venturing Leadership Award]] is once again available for everyone to earn. [[Cooking]], [[Lifesaving]], [[Photography]], and [[Snow Sports]] have been updated. 2016 is almost over and soon [[Boy Scouts]] will have to use the new rank requirements, updated for each rank.[[User:BartHumphries|BartHumphries]] 01:26, November 3, 2016 (EDT)
